Vacuum Heat Treatment

Vacuum Heat Treatment

Our vacuum heat treatment capability has been improved by the addition of a new TAV vacuum furnace (model type TPH1200L). Our furnace is designed with the ability to meet the stringent requirements of the aerospace market.

Why use heat treatment

Heat treatment is usually used to improve the physical properties of an alloy. The process of heating and cooling is used to control the grain size and crystal structure of alloys, and therefore the physical properties. In particular, heat treatment is used to improve high temperature creep resistance in superalloys and to degas titanium components for aerospace.
